Help Gasi Pitter Return to his Family.

Donation protected
I have been in prison for a total of 20 yrs. At the age of  twenty-two  I had to explain to my 3 yr old daughter that she may not see me again anytime soon. I missed the birthday parties, the day she graduated from high school, the day she got accepted in the top HBCU in the country. It hurts me to the core to not be apart of those moments, but also to leave the responsibility on her mother. I never wanted my daughter to go without a father or her mother to ever have to carry that Burden alone. Although, I have spent these years inside trying to send a present for every birthday, calling as much as I can, being my daughters best supporter, even as far as helping her with her math homework from miles away; it is not equivalent to being there physically and actively being there for her through her triumphs and obstacles. Being a father to me means being a positive role model, being there with a tissue every time she cries, making her laugh even when she swears she can't, listening to her everyday struggles and giving her the best advice, but also still allowing her to make her own mistakes. One of my biggest regrets is missing my baby girls high school and college graduation. If I was there with her today I would  grab her and hug her for this time she would know that daddy is there and will always be, but  this time free. When I was at the police station they held me for 5 days  without a warrant, when the law only permits 48 hours. I was held for five days before I went before a judge. In the meantime due to the prison conditions, I have developed an ulcer, causing me to throw up blood daily, severe stomach pains and moments where it's hard to keep down food. A couple months ago I was diagnosed with chronic back pain due to being placed in a cage for three hours  on my way to the hospital for treatment of my ulcer. High cases of  COVID-19 have been recorded and identified in the prison that I am located and I am afraid that my conditions will only get worse.  I have served  my time and am ready to get home to my baby girl. Please help me with lawyer fees so I can finally go home to my family and get well. Thank You.
